Saturnman Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1326 Reg: May 99	posted 10-01-2000 04:41 PM Playstation 2. It has redefined the way we play games. It doesn't just rely on easy sequels, it pushes the envelop with innovative games the industry has rarely seen. Moreover, I could never say no to rich, colorful and detailed 128-bit graphics. The sound capabilities, an area often ignored, shines on this platform like you wouldn't believe. Best of all, you're not stuck with CD's anymore, it uses high-density storage disks, allowing developers to cram even more fun in each game. Actually, I meant Dreamcast, but that typical list of praises is so vague that it can be applied to both platforms, regardless of brand loyalty. Saturnman ------------------

Adam Member Posts: 253 Reg: Jun 2000	posted 10-01-2000 04:59 PM Probably PS2, because it would be a better long-term investment.

Solid Snake Gaming Aged Member Posts: 4180 Reg: May 99	posted 10-01-2000 05:06 PM It was announced around the sametime Driver 2 was announced. But don't worry, Driver 3 will be ported to the almighty PortBox..So you don't need a PS2! ------------------

bastardly Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1503 Reg: Aug 2000	posted 10-01-2000 05:13 PM I don't know Solid, last I heard about Driver 3 was it's not going make it this gen, as some dude at Reflections said he want's true photorealistic graphics, and that won't come until XBox 2 PS3. And how the hell did V.I.P. get on the list? ------------------ NINTENDO FANATIC SINCE CONCEPTION!!!

msanti Expert Member Posts: 649 Reg: Mar 2000	posted 10-01-2000 05:26 PM Well, I say PS2. Of course, if you can't shag one this X-mas, by all means, get a DC. Its got some good games. I just feel PS2 will be there at the end though. Mike S. ------------------ "Signature? I don't need no stinkin' signature!"
HAOHMARU Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1780 Reg: May 2000	posted 10-01-2000 05:37 PM I already have the Dreamcast so if I was going to pick another one I would say the GameCube. ------------------ "The secret is simply to simplify." - Bruce Lee http://www.shodown.net/

GKeeper Member Posts: 57 Reg: Aug 2000	posted 10-01-2000 05:46 PM Atari 2600...NOT! PS2 all the way because I get a game console and a DVD player all in one. ------------------ GKeeper = Game Keeper
Cool8man Expert Member Posts: 898 Reg: Jun 2000	posted 10-01-2000 05:47 PM "I just feel PS2 will be there at the end though." I don't get that feeling at all. I get the feeling that the PS2 is going to come out of the gates really strong and hyped up and then taper off to be just one of the systems or in a worst case scenario go bye bye. I really don't see what the PS2 can offer over Xbox in the long term other than Sony 1st party titles. The developers seem to be migrating towards Xbox favoritism at this point. And even Nintendo seems to be a little more popular with 3rd parties than last generation. It's too hard to say this early on who's secure and who's not. There really is no security in the videogame industry at all.
gigadent Gaming Aged Member Posts: 3081 Reg: Nov 99	posted 10-01-2000 06:03 PM developers are not "migrating" to X-box. If X-box cannot build up a userbase fast enough, developers will jump ship in a hurry and it will be the one that goes by bye. ------------------ Most wanted games: 1. GT3 2. Kengo: Master of Bushido 3. The Bouncer 4. Onimusha: Warlords 5. Ace Combat 4
bastardly Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1503 Reg: Aug 2000	posted 10-01-2000 06:11 PM Well as long as I get the superior versions of Kengo and MGS2 on the XBox I don't care. ------------------ NINTENDO FANATIC SINCE CONCEPTION!!!
Kaientai69 Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1207 Reg: Oct 99	posted 10-01-2000 06:14 PM I'll stick with my DC. I just hope Capcom vs. SNK 2 comes out on the DC and turns out better than the first one. I also want Planet Harrier and Cannon Spike (plus numerous other DC games.) Despite my previous comments, in reality I'd take a Gamecube over PS2. Nintendo is still my favorite software company. ------------------ "I know you are expecting the ending, but there's no ending in my story."

If you noticed, I carefully inserted the words, best games "imo", which means what I think are some of the best games for each system. There are also many games I missed on my Dreamcast list. I just realized after seeing an above post that I forgot to include Capcom vs. SNK. No biggie, the lists are by no means absoulutely complete and some games from each list will be multi platform.
